Russian Billionaire Puts Anti-Photo Lasers On His Giant Yacht

Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is
installing an anti-paparazzi laser defense system on his giant
yacht,
the Sunday Times reports.

Infrared lasers sweep around the boat. When they pick up on the
electronic light sensors in cameras they fire off a beam of light
at the camera so it can't capture an image. The laser beams
aren't always on, so if you're friends with Abramovich, you'll
still be able to take pictures on the boat.

There's no word on how much this feature costs, but obviously
it's priceless. There will be more nude sunbathing, and more
people will be able to use the deck of the boat for amorous
activities with less fear of being busted.

The yacht, which will be over 524 feet long, costs well over $1
billion to build and should be launching around Christmas time of
this year.
